Family War

Chapter 11

Aarah's POV

Break time na namin. And as of now, kasama ko ngayon si Evander na kanina pa nananahimik. Ewan ko lang kung mahiyain talaga siya or ayaw niyang makisama sa iba nung una ko siyang nakilala, pero mabait naman siya.

"Bago ka pa lang dito ano?" Tanong ko.

"Yeah. Bagong lipat lang kami ni Sakura." Sagot niya bago umiwas ng tingin.

"Are you shy?" Tanong ko.

"Not really... I'm just not used to hanging out with people for some reason."

"You're kind of an introvert. Pero you don't need to be shy at all times. Kasi there are people who would want to know more about you. Pero be careful nga lang when you choose people who you want to be friends with, dahil may mga taong nagpapanggap na mabait eh." Pagpayo ko.

"I have a question. Why do you always give advice to people?"

"It's a family tradition. My mom always gives me advice whenever I have questions or if ever I have problems. She keeps on doing it pagdating sa mga nag a-approach sakanya. Kaya, ayun." Pagpaliwanag ko.

"And I have a question din. Bakit parang ayaw mong mag hang out with people at some point?" Tanong ko sakanya.

"Honestly, I don't know. Maybe I'm too innocent to be with people who are mature enough." Sagot niya.

"Alam mo, maturity isn't only about the things na ginagawa ng mga adults. It takes time to develop it. It's not about the age na pwede mo na gawin kung ano ang gusto mo, sometimes it's about the personality that would change you. You don't need to do what most teenagers do in life, you just have to find something that will make you a better person. And that's maturity." Pagpayo ko na ikina-ngiti niya.

"May something ah!" Sulpot bigla ni Sakura kasama si Arianna.

"Nag uusap lang!" Natatawang sambit ko.

"Ano ba yan!! Magki kiss na dapat si Vincenzo at Hong Cha Young!! Naubusan pa ako ng load!!" Inis na sambit ni Arianna.

"Anak ng... pati ba naman battery?!"

"K Drama pa!" Pag asar ko.

"I better get going." Sambit ni Evander bago tumayo at tumalikod.

"Evander! Sabay ka na saamin! Kakain pa tayo diba?"

"Bukas na lang ulit Aarah! Thank you sa libre!" Sigaw ni Evander bago umalis.

"Anong meron kay Evander?" Tanong ko.

"Ganyan talaga siya ever since na nakilala ko siya." Sagot ni Sakura.

"Bakit?"

"Magkaklase kami ni Evander since Elementary. And ever since na nag aral ako sa school na pinag aralan namin dati, siya lang yung nag iisang matinong estudyante nung nabu bully ako." Pagkwento ni Sakura.

"Magpakita lang yang mga hinayupak na yan, tignan natin kung sino matapang sakanila!" Inis na sambit ni Arianna.

"I'm sorry to hear that Sakura... do you mind if ikwento mo siya saamin?" Tanong ko.

"Medyo personal. Pero I'm willing to tell you whenever I'm ready." Sambit ni Sakura na ikinabuntong hininga ko.

"You don't need to tell me if ayaw mo. I respect your decision kung ayaw mo pang ikwento."

"Salamat Aarah."

"Magpakita lang yang mga yan, magkakainitan kami!" Pagbanta ni Arianna na ikinatuwa naming lahat.

"Hi Sakura!" Sulpot bigla ni Flair.

"Flair! Wanna have a seat?" Pagyaya ko.

"It's okay, thank you Aarah." Pagtanggi ni Flair.
